Panthers 2025 game-by-game predictions following schedule release
Panthers 2025 game-by-game predictions following schedule release
It's never too early to predict a full 17-game regular-season schedule, right?
On Wednesday night, the NFL officially revealed the 2025 slate for the Carolina Panthers. And, like every year, fans have already started mapping out their team's potential victories ahead of the upcoming campaign.
So, since we were pretty much bang-on in our 2024 forecast, let's give these game-by-game predictions another go . . .
Buy Carolina Panthers tickets for 2025
Week 1: at Jacksonville Jaguars
Both of the franchise's NFC championship-winning seasons, 2003 and 2015, successfully began in Jacksonville. While a third trip to the Super Bowl here in 2025 seems rather unlikely, a little bit of history repeats itself once again.
Prediction: Win (22-20)
Week 2: at Arizona Cardinals
The Panthers and running back Chuba Hubbard eliminated the Cardinals from playoff contention in an overtime thriller last season. Arizona exacts revenge.
Prediction: Loss (23-17)
Week 3: vs. Atlanta Falcons
No revenge here. After closing up Atlanta's 2024 campaign in a triumphant Week 18 shootout, quarterback Bryce Young and crew keep their division rivals grounded at home.
Prediction: Win (33-25)
Week 4: at New England Patriots
This time, it's the Panthers—not big-money defensive lineman Milton Williams—who make the Patriots pay.
Prediction: Win (27-16)
Week 5: vs. Miami Dolphins
If quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can get going, the Miami offense still might have plenty of firepower left to unload.
Prediction: Loss (38-21)
Week 6: vs. Dallas Cowboys
2025 will mark the Cowboys' third trip to Bank of America Stadium in as many years. They picked up dominant victories in the first two matchups, outscoring the Panthers 63 to 24.
Prediction: Loss (30-20)
Week 7: at New York Jets
With first-year head coach Aaron Glenn in tow, the Jets might be using 2025 to figure out who they want to be. Dave Canales and the Panthers, meanwhile, may already be there.
Prediction: Win (21-13)
Week 8: vs. Buffalo Bills
The league's reigning Most Valuable Player and the rest of "Carolina North" may be primed for a Super Bowl run this season.
Prediction: Loss (34-17)
Week 9: at Green Bay Packers
Carolina's last win at Lambeau Field came back in 2008. They're 0-3 since.
Prediction: Loss (33-24)
Week 10: vs. New Orleans Saints
Um, who's starting under center for the Saints in 2025?
Prediction: Win (20-10)
Week 11: at Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons get their lick back.
Prediction: Loss (31-26)
Week 12: at San Francisco 49ers
Will Carolina's first primetime showcase in two years be a revenge game for running back Christian McCaffrey?
Prediction: Loss (27-14)
Week 13: vs. Los Angeles Rams
Upset special! The Panthers get a defining win and shock the Rams in a tight battle in Charlotte.
Prediction: Win (24-22)
Week 14: Bye
Week 15: at New Orleans Saints
Again, who's playing quarterback for this team?
Prediction: Win (17-13)
Week 16: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay has gone 9-1 against Carolina since 2020, and they may have gotten stronger this offseason.
Prediction: Loss (35-24)
Week 17: vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Panthers stiff-arm the Seahawks in their final home game of the regular season.
Prediction: Win (37-23)
Week 18: at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Another year, another series sweep for the class of the NFC South.
Prediction: Loss (41-33)

Regional airports say they haven't been contacted about anticipated influx of flyers for World Cup
We're one year away from the FIFA World Cup matches here in Atlanta. Fans will come in from all over the world, and while most will fly commercial, many will come in on corporate or executive jets. The Metro Atlanta Chamber said nearly 1,600 private jets flew into metro Atlanta for the Super Bowl. Considering each one of these matches is a potential Super Bowl, those jets have to get parked somewhere. But so far, the airports around metro Atlanta say they haven't heard of a plan. Matthew Smith is not only the airport division director for Gwinnett County's Briscoe Field, he's also the president of the Georgia Airport Association. He's anticipating corporate and executive jets will fly into metro Atlanta for the big FIFA World Cup matches. TRENDING STORIES: Metro Atlanta parents 'made a dumb decision' by giving 1-year-old beer, report says SCOTUS rules on lawsuit from Atlanta family whose home was wrongly raided by the FBI Family finds someone else buried alongside their loved one in southwest GA cemetery 'Those jets have to go somewhere,' Smith told Channel 2's Richard Elliot. 'We can handle quite a bit. During the Super Bowl, we had well over 50 jets here.' The major regional airports in the Atlanta area include Fulton's Charlie Brown, DeKalb's PDK, Cobb's McCollum, Gwinnett's Briscoe and the Atlanta Speedway's airport. Smith said, so far, the Atlanta World Cup Hosting Committee hasn't reached out to any of them, but he expects they will. 'I'm sure at some point they'll include us just to make sure we have the capacity to handle what they expect to come in on the private side,' Smith said. Hartsfield-Jackson said it's prepared to handle some through signature and private suites, but any overflow would have to go elsewhere. Cobb's McCollum Field right now said it's more focused on handling flights for this summer's MLB All-Star game than the World Cup, but they added, 'Airport management is currently working with local, state and federal partners to coordinate planning efforts for the upcoming significant special events.' Smith said the regional airports are standing by to help. 'We've handled things like this before. We've had the Super Bowl. We've had the Olympics. We've had the NCAA Finals, and you know, football championships here. So, it's not something we're not used to. We typically can handle it with existing personnel and operations,' Smith said. Smith said Cobb, DeKalb and Fulton County's regional airports all have customs agents if needed.

Colin Cowherd Doesn't Hold Back on Aaron Rodgers Signing With Steelers
Colin Cowherd Doesn't Hold Back on Aaron Rodgers Signing With Steelers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After months of waiting, the Pittsburgh Steelers got their quarterback for the 2025 NFL season. Last week, Aaron Rodgers agreed to terms with the Steelers on a one-year contract worth $13.65 million. Since then, the speculation about how Rodgers will fare in the Steel City has been a major talking point by sports pundits. Advertisement On Wednesday, Colin Cowherd delivered his diagnosis of how he believes the Rodgers-Steelers partnership will play out during his show, "The Herd." "I think it's pretty clear it's going to be pretty bumpy. I think I'm doing Aaron a solid by (predicting a) 9-8 (record). My guess it could be 7-10," said Cowherd. Cowherd then began to list off elite quarterbacks from recent years who have switched teams late in their careers and categorized them into two camps: successful and unsuccessful. "Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford, Philip Rivers went to Indy, Aaron Rodgers with the Jets, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Matt Ryan and Cam Newton. Let's put them in two camps, one being successful. Brady won a Super Bowl. Stafford won a Super Bowl. Peyton Manning won a Super Bowl. Philip Rivers had a shockingly good year in his last year in the NFL in Indianapolis. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8).© Philip G. Pavely-Imagn Images "And then you have the other camp, the less successful camp," Cowherd continued. "The truth is if you have a defensive coach as an old quarterback who's past your prime. It's going to be turbulent. It's not going to be pretty. This is going to be hard." Advertisement Rodgers joined his Steelers teammates on Tuesday on the first day of mandatory minicamp, which runs for three days and concludes on Thursday. The 41-year-old quarterback told the media signing with Pittsburgh was "best for my soul" and pointed to head coach Mike Tomlin as a big reason for joining the Steelers. Rodgers finished last year with the New York Jets by passing for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The Steelers averaged 192.0 passing yards per game in 2024, ranking 27th, and allowed 49 sacks, tied for the ninth-most.
